EFF vs Karima Brown: Court hears journalist is unprofessional, not objective | CannyMaphanga
The lawyer representing the EFF argued in the Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg on Monday that journalist and political commentator Karima Brown did not conduct herself in a fair, objective or professional manner in her criticism of the EFF.
Ngalwana was referring to several examples of commentary in which Brown was critical of the EFF ahead of her court battle with the political party. This crux of the case, however, began when Brown mistakenly sent an editorial brief to an EFF media WhatsApp group. She wrote:"Keep an eye out for this. Who are these elders? Are they all male and how are they chosen? Keep watching brief."
Brown received a barrage of insults. She was called, among other derogatory names,"an Indian whore and bitch" and she was insulted, threatened and accused of allegedly sending moles to spy on them, News24 previously reported.Sanef condemns EFF after Malema's tweet results in insults and rape threats against veteran journalist Karima Brown
"We know for a fact that Brown is a journalist. He was asked to take steps to avoid this and he said that 'I won’t do it,'" Budlender argued.
